1. Measure rice with measuring cup provided. This unit will cook a maximum of 15 pounds of
dry rice. Uncooked rice volume triples after cooking.
2. Determine the quantity of rice to be cooked. The maximum is 10 full measuring cups, the
minimum is half that amount. Measure the rice into the pot and wash 4 or 5 times with fresh
water. When wash water becomes almost clear, stop washing and drain.
3. Cover the rice with 1" of water. A time-honored alternate method is to gently place your
hand on the rice. Add enough water to reach the center of your knuckles where your fingers
join your hand
4. Cover rice pot with stainless steel cover provided. Check to be sure that the pot is properly
seated in the cooker base and the water level is of uniform depth covering the rice. For really
tender, delicious rice, let rice soak in pot for about 10 minutes before igniting main burner.

RICE COOKING TIPS
1. When cooking half-pot of rice, turn gas valve full on, and note flame on burner. Then turn
gas valve slightly to OFF position until flame is reduced by half.
2. Length of cooking time will vary according to type of gas used, gas pressure to burner, and
quantity of rice being cooked.
3. When main burner automatically shuts off, It is recommended that the rice be broken up or
“turned” using a pot fork. Cover the rice and wait 10-15 minutes allowing rice to "cure"
before serving. Rice in this unit will remain hot (about 160ºF/71ºC) for four hours.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. The rice pot of your RM-55 cooker is designed for use in this unit only. Never set the pot
over any other stove as it will damage the thermostatic element and not operate
automatically in the future.
2. Keep the Piezo Electric Ignition clean and dry by wiping foreign matter off with dry cloth as
necessary. Do not press down ignition knob when anyone is touching electrode as electric
shock will result. If lighter fails to spark, check carefully that it is clean, dry and the black
neoprene line from the ignition assembly is connected. Call your dealer or gas service for
assistance if it continues to malfunction.
3. Cooker base connected to gas supply may be cleaned with damp cloth and mild soap or
detergent. Never immerse unit into water for cleaning. Be careful never to strain gas
connection as this will damage manifold and could be very dangerous.
4. Rice pot, cover, and enamel body may be removed for cleaning. These parts should be
cleaned and carefully reassembled to prevent damage to unprotected cooking sensor. Do
not force fit these parts as they assemble easily if properly positioned. Refer to sketch and
picture when in doubt.
5. After cooker is cleaned and assembled, leave all gas valves in “OFF” position, rice pot
centered and resting evenly on enamel outer body of cooker.
